Dream big my man, dream big!

And based on my 40 hours or so of research (watching TV episodes) just don't go and try that Bearing Sea stuff. Looks like sure death from either the rickety equipment or drunken fools wandering around Nome.

Not sure who the bigger idiots in this thread are, the op troll, or the idiots who actually believe his bs.

Seriously though, if even a quarter of the shite that happened in There Will Be Blood happens to you, you need a wing man.

I'll gladly work for $10/hr and I've shot a handgun before.

eta: I can send you my resume

I thought that Bering sea dredging equipment was pretty weak.

I have no idea why they don't get a good sized pan dredge and start driving around and sucking up dirt.

I nice hopper dredge would be perfect.

Wouldn't you do better in South America where you can mine year round instead of Alaska where you have a short season? Plus it wont be so cold.

no too many obstacles. im happy being in the usa and not catching malaria.

plus the areas im interested in i can pull a million a year plus. i dont have to go to another country to do it. i consider them retarded for going there. they have no law over there. your taking a risk with your life.

i wouldnt mind going to nome in the winter and doing the ocean dredging like that. hell you can work everyday unlike the summer when you have to wait for good weather. i still might go to nome in the winter next year just to give it a try. you can pull 10 grand a day if you work hard and dredge 24/7

you should look into the gpaa. im a member of that and they offer summer trips to nome to mine gold. its a little pricy but well worth it.

If you're 28 and already got 300,000 in savings I'd say keep doing what your doing.

But I believe this to be a troll job anyway so who cares

Everyone knows that you can make $10,000 a month just working 2 hours a day from home on your pc. I'll just stick with that.

very easy if you drop your normal way of thinking.
you think outside the box to get out the box results.

gold has just risen in the last 5 years to make this a reality. it wasn't easy at 3-600 an ounce. but when you double that it becomes a possibility.

i wouldn't be happy to have 1 million right now i want more than that. i have to set my family up to never worry about money again. i see that happening by operating gold mines. hey if you dont see the ability to do so your loss. keep wasting time in your 9-5 and living on a fixed income for the rest of your life. thats not good enough for me. if you knew me you would know i never settle.

many people must have forgot that the gold rush didnt stop because the lack of gold. it stopped because the price was too low to make a living on.
now the price is high so you can make a easy living on it if you want it bad enough.

hell you can mine gold in georiga and pull 3-400 a day.

obviously a joke. Even people 100% invested in gold mining don't want to do that right now.
